North Vancouver, British Columbia -

The Fulcrum Project is excited to announce the release of The Fulcrum 
Project’s STAND – an eclectic CD made up of opera, street punk, folk, 
Celtic, blues, and jazz. It was created to raise awareness about poverty in 
BC today and the need to make ending poverty an election issue.

Long-established as well as new- and upcoming-musicians contributed to The 
Fulcrum Project’s STAND: UHF, the North Shore Celtic Ensemble, ryan andrew 
murphy, Miranda Frigon, Fabiana Katz, Pauline Le Bel, Jay Knutson, Greg 
Kelly, Newspeak, The Rebel Spell, Coquitlam Celtic Ensemble, and Miranda 
Frigon.

The price of the CD is $5.17 to reflect our Provincial Election date: May 
17, 2005.

To order a copy of this CD or for more information on The Fulcrum Project, 
please check out our website: 
<http://www.thefulcrumproject.org/>www.thefulcrumproject.org . Revenues 
from this CD will go to those who support our goals of ending poverty.

The Fulcrum Project is a group of people that met at “The Future of 
Poverty” series held at SFU Harbourfront over two years ago. Since then, 
they have been working on four initiatives to undo the misconceptions that 
surround those living in poverty, and to ensure that ending poverty is at 
the forefront of the election campaigns for our Provincial Election.  They 
are simply a group of people wanting to do something. The four projects are 
our website, our art shows, this CD, and a community discussion on poverty 
planned for April 2-3.

This CD has been a long time in the making. No one had any experience or 
contacts within the music world ... or so it felt at the beginning. Most of 
this CD was put together from people volunteering their time and talent to 
get it made and a lot of “I know someone who knows someone who can ...” It 
has been as grass roots as making a CD can get!

BCTF’s Social Justice Advisory Committee generously provided the money 
needed to have the CD reproduced.
